- 1 Chronicles 8:33 sn Eshbaal is called “Ishbosheth” in 2 Sam 2:8.
- 1 Chronicles 8:34 sn Meribbaal is called “Mephibosheth” in 2 Sam 4:4.
- 1 Chronicles 8:38 tn Heb “sons and these were their names.”
- 1 Chronicles 8:38 tc The Hebrew text has בֹּכְרוּ (bokheru), which some understand as a name: “Bocheru” (so, e.g., NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV). But the form should probably be revocalized בְּכֹרוֹ (bekhoro, “his firstborn”). A name has accidentally dropped from the list, and a scribe apparently read בֹּכְרוּ as one of the names.
- 1 Chronicles 8:38 tc The Lucianic recension of the LXX inserts another name here, καὶ Ἀζαριας (kai Azarias, “and Azariah”), presumably to make up the six sons mentioned at the beginning of the verse (see the previous tc note on “firstborn”). Cf. NAB.
- 1 Chronicles 8:40 tn Heb “and the sons of Ulam were men, warriors and treaders of a bow.”
